Is the Slowdown in Health Care Spending Good News?
Physicians for a National Health Program [PNHP] [Opinion] Apr. 23, 2013 "What is clear though is that much of the slowing not related to the economy has been due to the imposition of greater cost sharing, especially higher deductibles, and to the ratcheting up of managed care intrusions such as more restrictive provider lists and greater use of tiering of benefits. For containing costs, these are unwise policies because they create barriers that impair access to health-care services that patients should have. That is a terrible way to control spending." |
